I can understand people wanting more from a player. What I can’t get onboard with is when the player under attack has played his part in the club winning another trophy. If the club was underachieving and the players strolled about then fair enough have a go. Let’s leave that to united fans.Some of these fans were probably the same ones who slagged Rodders off after his first year.
I also wish people would get off Jack's back & stop obsessing over his hair, calf muscles & transfer fee!£100m fee is why people can’t appreciate his performances. If it was £50m then the lack of support would not exist. I have no doubts he will start to deliver higher performances but he still might never be able to do enough to justify the fee in some people eyes.
To be fair, it will be harder than he thought as if his brain was in a hazelnut, it’d still rattle.I also wish people would get off Jack's back & stop obsessing over his hair & calf muscles & transfer fee!
Pep wanted him & Villa had a rock solid buyout clause in his contract which we triggered, which is nothing to do with Grealish. ManUre are entitled to put a £1bn buyout clause on Phil Jones's head, but he's only worth what someone's willing to pay.
The only reservations I've got about Grealish is a comment he made post-Villa match where we won the title. Pissed up, he said it's harder than he thought to adapt under Guardiola because he's had to stick to a rigid system, whereby at Villa he could just perform to instinct & make things happen.
This could be just a 1-2 season settling in period, or it could be a player being unhappy about not being able to play his natural game. My hope is we'll land somewhere in the middle where Jack'll adapt his natural game to fit Guadiola's philosophy.
only worth 100 million when sold for same in few years time like Sterling wasnt worth 50 million but strangely enough 7 yeas later load of silver wear we got our money back and nobody bats a eyelid£100m fee is why people can’t appreciate his performances.

Surname OverpricedI didn’t realise Cucurella’s first name was Jack.
The role of a passenger, didn't have one game winning moment all season, take his measly g/a contribution away and we still would have finished with the same points.I can understand people wanting more from a player.

If he scored the winner in a champions league final it would be justified. I am looking forward to watching him progress. Maybe needs to stay off the sauce tho but that’s down to the person.only worth 100 million when sold for same in few years time like Sterling wasnt worth 50 million but strangely enough 7 yeas later load of silver wear we got our money back and nobody bats a eyelid
So no Cucurella, but paying 100M£ for Grealish was ok.
Yeah, fuck talking about left-back all the summer. We don't need anyone in this position. Romano has said HERE WE GO, se he is rather leaving, but we are completely unprepared to buy anyone at this position.Jack had a clause Cucu does not. We had no choice. We do have a choice on whether or not we want to be fleeced by Brighton. Walk away and keep Zin. If the latter is not possible buy the next on the list. Fuck Brighton and their passing about.
Harsh. I don’t agree.The role of a passenger, didn't have one game winning moment all season, take his measly g/a contribution away and we still would have finished with the same points.
This implies he drinks regularly during the season, which he does not.If he scored the winner in a champions league final it would be justified. I am looking forward to watching him progress. Maybe needs to stay off the sauce tho but that’s down to the person.
Maybe are we weak negotiators?If Cucurella doesn’t have a release clause, a comparison to Grealish’s price is moot.
No it doesn’t! It says he like to go out partying if the papers are to be believed which could be detrimental to his career. Also you don’t know and neither do, what he gets up to during the season.This implies he drinks regularly during the season, which he does not.
I don't think we need the papers to convince us, just watch the video of him walking around in a slipper reversing his ranger Rover into numerous parked cars. When your 100million pound record signing has more hangovers in a season than match winning moments it tells its own story.No it doesn’t!

You are, he wrote it in an article.If I click on The link to Martin’s twitter account I can’t see this statement. Am I missing something obvious?!
